Merging code between two branches.

[Ankit Garg]

Hi! I am working on a project where I and another person are working on the same code but different branch. Both of us are making updations to the code. Now to merge our code, I use the "Merge Changes from Branch" command with my branch as the working branch, and the other branch as the other branch. Now I just want to confirm that is this the correct way to do this. Actually we are both new to this project and it is a very big project. So I am not sure if this is working or not. So I just want to confirm this. I am using Netbens 6.

It certainly looks like the right sort of thing.

HOWEVER, if you are not sure about anything, even just one parameter, then I suggest that you don't experiment with your "very big project". Create a new, much smaller, one with a few files and try it out. Check some stuff in and out, practice merging and so on. Only when you are completely confident that you know what you are doing should you risk screwing up a major project repository.

I tried what you said and indeed this is the correct way to do it. Thanks for the help
